Eric Gordon of New Orleans Pelicans out for season after second surgery for finger

New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Gordon is out for the season after undergoing surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured right ring finger.

This is the second time this season Gordon has broken the finger on his shooting hand. He missed 16 games for the injury earlier this season.

Set to be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career this summer, Gordon is averaging 15.4 points, 2.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 45 appearances. The 27-year-old has yet to play more than 64 games in a regular season in his five years with New Orleans.
